Guest Xignals Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 I am an administrator of a Windows Server 2000 active directory network and do allot of remote administration on users computers. When trying to check the event log or check user groups on a remote machine using computer management I get an access denied error. Now I can still get to the admin share on remote machines and this method works perfectly on Windows 2000 boxes. The error is only on XP and Server 2003 machines. Something else that is broke is the ability to do remote installs of Symantec Anti Virus. I can not push out installs from my desk. After some googling I have seen some posts about updating Active Directory to work with XP and Server 2003. What I have not found is clear instructions on how to do this. Can someone point me in the right direction to get this done or if this is not the problem is there a solution? Thank you.
Guest Anthony Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Re: Access denied when using computer managment on remote computers Do you also get access denied if you connect directly to the IP address of the remote computer?

Guest Xignals Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Re: Access denied when using computer managment on remote computers No, I can not access with machine name or ip address. And let me make a correction to my first post. I can access local users and groups it is device manager that I can not access. So event viewer and device manager give access denied messages.

Guest Anthony Posted August 16, 2007 Posted August 16, 2007 Re: Access denied when using computer managment on remote computers You get this problem with MTU size over a VPN. Also, just check the DNS for duplicate or old addresses. If these are wrong, sometimes you are not connecting to the machine you think you are, Anthony, http://www.airdesk.co.uk "Xignals" <xignals@> wrote in message news:2ip8c3hkhj166k30omagahbvfh6vsdl5aj@4ax.com... > No, I can not access with machine name or ip address.
